[Chorus: I wonder if heaven got a ghetto (4X)]
    I was raised, the little young nigga doin bad shit
  Talk much shit cause I never had shit
  I could remember being whupped in class
  And if I didn't pass mama whupped my ass
  Was it my fault papa didn't plan it out
  Broke out left me to be the man of the house
  I couldn't take it, had to make a profit
  Down the block, got a glock, and I clock grip
  Makin G's was my mission
  Movin enough of this shit to get my mama out the kitchen and
  why must I sock a fella, just to live large like Rockefeller
  First you didn't give a fuck, but you're learnin now
  If you don't respect the town then we'll burn you down
  God damn it's a motherfuckin riot
  Black people only hate police so don't try it
  If you're not from the town then don't pass through
  Cause some O.G. fools might blast you
  It ain't right but it's long overdue
  We can't have peace til the niggaz get a piece too
  I want G's so you label me a criminal
  And if I die, I wonder if heaven got a ghetto
    [Chorus]
    [Verse Two: 2Pac]
    Here on Earth, tell me what's a blick life worth
  A bottle of juice is no excuse, the truth hurts
  And even when you take the shit
  Move counties get a lawyer you can shake the shit
  Ask Rodney, LaTasha, and many more
  It's been goin on for years, there's plenty more
  When they ask me, when will the violence cease?
  When your troops stop shootin niggaz down in the street
  Niggaz had enough time to make a difference
  Bear witness, own our own business
  Word to God cause it's hard tryin to make ends meet
  First we couldn't afford shit now everything's free
  so we loot, please don't shoot when you see
  I'm takin from the, cause for years they would take it from me
  Now the tables have turned around
  You didn't listen, until the niggaz burned it down
  And now Bush can't stop the hit
  Predicted the shit, in 2Pacalypse
  And for once I was down with niggaz, felt good
  in the hood bein around the niggaz, yeah
  And for the first time everybody let go
  And the streets is death row, I wonder if heaven got a ghetto
    [Chorus]
    [Verse Three: 2Pac]
    I see no changes, all I see is racist faces
  Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
  We under I wonder what it take to make this
  one better place, let's erase the wait state
  Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
  Cause both black and white are smokin crack tonight
  And only time we deal is when we kill each other
  It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
  And though it seems heaven-sent
  We ain't ready, to have a black President, huh
  It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
  The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
  I wake up in the morning and I ask myself
  Is life worth living should I blast myself
  I'm tired of being poor and even worse I'm black
  My stomach hurts so I'm lookin for a purse to snatch
  Cops give a damn about a ne-gro
  Pull a trigger kill a nigger he's a hero
  Mo' nigga mo' nigga mo' niggaz
  I'd rather be dead than a po' nigga
  Let the Lord judge the criminals
  If I die, I wonder if heaven got a ghetto
    [Chorus (to :27 from fade)]
    Just think, if niggaz decide to retaliate
  (Soldier in the house)
  I wonder if heaven got a ghetto [4X to fade]
